Today, the building stands as a historic landmark, its façade retaining the original Beaux-Arts elegance. While no longer operating as a hotel, visitors can appreciate its architectural details from the exterior and imagine the glamour of its heyday. The surrounding area offers a glimpse into the city's commercial past.
